Most people would tell you that if you seek the community aspect of it, you should go to Reddit, but honestly, I still feel like there's a hole for something in between. A site with the conciseness and technicality of SO but with the c

> Your phone almost certainly has all the functions that your fitness tracker has No, it doesn't, that's the whole point I was trying to make. My fitness tracker tracks heart beats for example.

In my view, as a bystander with no skin in the game, the BCH fork is very much political, so there's no reason why exchanges should not take a political stance in response. It's hardly a question of supporting what "everyone

I just resort to using the desktop version on mobile. I can't really stand the current mobile design, let alone their app, way too much space wasted.

Most of what you said applies to Surface Books and Surface Pros, you should check them out if you work on Windows. I'm pretty happy with my SP4 myself.

That's if you want to trade in real-time, but a slow decentralized exchange still has value for casual buyers and sellers. An exchange is typically both a trading platform and a marketplace, but it doesn't have to do both to be us

I wonder whether Ads are an appropriate way to monetize messaging apps. It's such a fundamentally different context from just mindlessly browsing the news feed on Facebook or Instagram. I'm sure FB has done their testing but, ads

More often than not the right timing was the right timing only in hindsight, but I think there is merit to the argument of there being right timing sometimes. It is true that Instagram couldn't have happened before cheap smartphones wi

Wikipedia is probably the most dangerous procrastination tool on the net. There's not limit there, the rabbit hole just goes deeper and deeper.

Excuse me if I sound intolerant but, do kids really need to play mobile games? I don't understand why most parents are happy to hand over an iPhone to their kid, then complain that their games are constantly trying to syphon money. Jus

Because most tech start ups in the valley are funded by private investors, and for them usually the best outcome is either an exit or an IPO. When the industry is dominated and controlled by this kind of funding, these goals end up idolized

But that's a different question, isn't it? We are talking about "overclocking" the brain, so to speak, not necessarily making one smarter or dumber. The speculation here (if I understand correctly) is that "overcloc

Then you have to think bigger. If you are cloning Trello for example, have it have a different UI that is more useful for a particular niche, but that they can't simply add because they would alienate their existing user case. Make it

Would be neat if HN allowed inspection of anonymized aggregated vote count per country and timestamp, so that the community can call out the bullshit if there are suspicious patterns.

It's a funny quote, but it's a joke, I don't think the writers of the show meant it to be taken to heart. VR has its share of problems and it won't take off the way the iPhone did for the time being, but it's very t
